  My website is currently hosted on GoDaddy.com. I would like to upgrade to the WordPress option of ‘Free domain with plan’. I would like to purchase a plan and get a domain with the same name as that hosted on GoDaddy.com. Please advise.

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

  Hi @srinjchak, no problem! You can buy the plan, and then choose to map or transfer the domain from GoDaddy.

  Mapping is free with the plan always; you would just renew the domain through GoDaddy each year, while renewing the plan hosting with us.

  Or, the transfer is free with the plan, too. That would transfer the registration here, too, so you would renew the domain through us in addition to the plan each year. Transferring does extend your domain by one year, too.

  Does that help? We’re happy to answer any questions you have. This may help too:
